In a stand mixer, cream butter, peanut butter and sugars until fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and eggs and mix until creamy. In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking soda. Add these dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. I like to mix the toffee bits, oatmeal, coconut, peanuts, and corn flakes together in a bowl before adding them to the cookie dough and if you use the bowl you just mixed the dry ingredients in, you'll save yourself washing a dish. Add the toffee and nut mixture to the dough and mix by hand. The dough is very stiff, but you want to mix it well so the cookies stay together.Drop about 2 tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart on a parchment lined or non-stick foil lined cookie sheets. Because of the sticky toffee involved in this cookie, you won't want to skip lining your cookies sheets with silicon mats or parchment paper. Bake for 13 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool on wire racks store in an air tight container. You can still enter your Peanut Butter cookie recipe into the first Peanut Butter Exhibition round-up by sending your information to pbe@peanutbutterboy.com with "PBE #1" in the subject line. All the details can be found here. The deadline for this event is April 28th at 12pm (Pacific Time), so get cooking!

Having eaten and swooned over the original toffee cookie many times before, I am certain that these are delicious as well. Now I am torn as to what to do with that bag of toffee pieces I've got squirreled away.

I forgot to leave a comment, but excellent work e! Because you've entered, you've inspired me to go out this weekend and get the ingredients to make my absolute favorite childhood treat. I'm not 100% sure if it's a "cookie", but we'll be the judge of that =).
